Well I'm so happy Crash got the Oscar love....

HOWEVER I'm so torn because Crash and Brokeback Mountain are hands down my two favorite movies of the year and I really want Brokeback Mountain to win, but I also want Crash to win. Could there be a tie please? haha...

I really think Don Cheadle or Terrence Howard should have been nominated over Matt Dillon in Crash - but happy for Matt just the same.

I also am happy to see Jake and Michelle Williams for BBM nominated - they were every bit as good as Heath (who has gotten way more attention).

I'm torn between Reese and Felicity.

I saw History of Violence a long time ago - and I remember Viggo and Ed - but I couldn't remember William Hurt until I googled him - and his performance was way too small and unmemorable to take a nomination spot.

really dont understand all the hoopla over Crash, hope BBM wins.

Shock to see Keira Knightley on that list, i wouldnt mind if she won though, it will be like when Audrey Hepburn won for Roman Holiday. Its not that they are outstanding actresses, its just they have a radiance on screen that is really great to watch.

I wanted to see Thandie Newton get nominated for Crash. To me her and Terrance Howard were the best part of the movie. The scene when Thandie lashes out at Terrance was very well done.

I'd really like to see Crash win but I think Brokeback Mountain will be the big winner.

I think Crash is going to win especially if they did what they did with SAG and send a copy of the movie to every one in the academy which should be easy since the academy only has 5700 memembers compared to the 108,000 members of SAG.

I like it that there is no big blockbuster this year hogging 14 nominations. It is a very balanced year but still some of those political choices like Munich..... it was a good film but I don't think it deserved to make the top 5. Crash though big thumbs up. That was an awesome choice I was so happy to see it get in there and the SAG win for ensemble helps it immensely but this is Brokeback's year which is just as equally amazing!

Am I correct in guessing that if Ang Lee wins Best Director, he will be the first non-Caucasian to win this award?

Did Ang Lee direct Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

    • Glad you enjoyed watching. Yes, Michael seems like fun. I am always interested in more of these niche talk show appearances.
    • Thanks for the tag @DRW50
    • Upon reflection, I think you're right, their chilliness toward each other was more recent. She said women on the show in 1984 were not supportive and she still stays away from them. She seems friendly with Susan Hayes so Deidre is the only woman still around from those days, though I guess Kristian Alfonso and Leann Hunley could also qualify. And it might be someone long gone but who is still present in Suzanne's social circles. 
    • I don't know.  The animosity seems to be more recent than the mid 80s.  When Maggie was a victim of the Salem Stalker i remember reading an interview with Suzanne where she said they aired the episode(s) surrounding Maggie death in a theatre and made a big deal about it.  Suzanne was very upset about being fired and Dee comforted her and said that they were making such a big deal about it because it was Suzanne/Maggie.  I cannot find the article but I will keep trying. That said Suzanne's comments on Soapy about how some of the female cast members treated her during her illness was disappointing to hear to say the least.  
    • Anyway... Kristen should have a prison lesbian story arc. And then come out and become obsessed with Marlena so we can move her on from the Brady nonsense. Is that secret room still in the DiMera mansion? 
    • Oh, wow... where can I find this interview? 
    • I'm really liking Izaiah and Eva so far. And why can't I help but feel that something might happen to make Jessica stay in Fairmont Crest permanently? 
    • So Pam didn't create her? I thought she had the whole of 87-88. I'll look around, thanks for the point in the right direction.

      date: Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | Jamey Giddens, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Samantha, accept the fact you were in the wrong and do not deserve your digital devices. Do not like it? Go upstairs. Read a book. Do some knitting. Bradley and Martin's "we get it" to Tyrell was hilarious and absolutely a parent's thing to do. Loving a bit of history of both the Duprees (via Eva) and the Hawthrones (via Izaiah). So cute. Poor June. I am sure she did not purposefully mean to mess up; we have all been there working in customer service. Shake it off and keep on keeping on! Not twice a week for Vernon's cobbler order... Sharon must be using that as payment for their meetings. I appreciate that Ted still cares about the Duprees despite the end of his marriage to Nicole. Not Dana using Peaches' crisis as a way of taking Ted's attention away from a co-worker. Girl, do not be so obvious. Bradley is a man after my own heart with a simply divine chocolate milkshake. That is the way to go. Dana really needs to dial it back. Money will not buy her everything she wants and she will realise it soon enough. And I doubt Shanice is scared off by her idle threats, either. "With all due respect, Ms Thomas, this isn't a shopping mall." Oh, Dr Wilkes just owned Dana's arrogant ass. I love it. Wigs and personas? Okay now, Shanice ate with that read. I like that June assured Bradley that she will not replace him or Martin in the twins' lives. And that blood does not make a parent. Words never rang more true. Jessica reading Samantha was amazing. Dana would want to involve Ted. Her obsession is crossing beyond dangerous boundaries. Not Dana catching Vernon leaving Sharon's room at the country club. That is not good. Not good at all! Notes: Ugh. Not another breakdown from writer2. This week was going so well. Thankfully, Paige is an outstanding scriptwriter (one of this soap's best), and her words today are excellent. The food at Orphey Gene's does look bomb, so I do not blame any of the characters for uptalking it. I would eat there daily if I could. And gain hundreds of pounds, too. David Lami Friebe (Izaiah) continues to make me sick watching him, but he is nice to listen to. I still really like having June as the central person hub at Orphey Gene's. That familiar face you see when you walk in and have scenes. Dana wanting a second opinion means we could have an incoming doctor, right...?
    • Thank you for tagging me!!!!! And thank you to Soapdope78. It is wonderful!!!!
